I could care less about what other people think of MY CAR! I own it I drive it and I love it! Who cares what THEY think! Of course 98% of the people I see love my car too!

Hmm...1985 was the last year the engine came with a carb. 1986 started the fuel injection (and it was a dog).

I have actually heard this several times from people. The idea of snapping off the carb ond bolting another one on is their idea of "tuning".

I, like many other people, did not like the fox body look as much (flame on!). The SN95 got better but after owning one....it was a rattle box from the first day. How many people got tired of the car swaying one way and the hood the opposite?

In my opinion the 05' is a throw back to the 60's and 70's....and I absolutely love it!!

My fav's
1965/66/67 GT Fastback
1967 Convertible
69 GT Sportsroof
69/70/71 Boss (any)
1977 Cobra II (got to include the disco version
1979 302 Pace Car (love them seats)
1986 "Fat" body GT convertible (Friend had one with IMSA body kit..rock on!)

oh...and I would take any Shelby or California Special !!

I will disagree with the '86 was the first year for fuel injection and it was a dog" comment. They did have efi in '85 but it wasn't sequential. And the '86 was not a dog. At the time, the only things faster were the Vette by a micro-second and the Buick. Nothing at that time could touch the Buick. So, for the time, it was not a dog at all.
